    Daphne - the ones that fade require you to keep clicking till there are none of the required images left. Once there are no more pictures of cars etc. then you can submit

    HTH

    Unfortunately it doesn't work unless the boxes have a white square around them, with the ticks the images just change and none will actually select :(

    I've had problems with the captchas for the last few days... .honestly I'd love to go back to just words! The street signs which for some reason I can't get past even though I have done them correctly, are the worst for me - feels like it's on a loop.

    I've tried clearing cookies, restarting things, all sorts of tips from youtube, but nothing works for me.

    Just got to hope someone sorts it asap.

    Ah ha!! I have tried Firefox - still got several street signs but also got some buses and was able to get a few entries in. Errr... wrong! It's now stuck on those pesky street signs.

    I even used a new computer the other day and still the same problem - I hate those street signs!!

    Thinking of trying to mask the IP address to see if that works.
    Thank you to all posters - you are fabulous!!! :beer:

    Yes it appears I only have trouble with "Street Signs" they appear to be stuck in a loop, all other CAPTCHA's are ok. Anyone else getting this ?

    I cleared cache/cookies and turned the router off for about three hours, woohoo working again for me :) The multiple radio station entries are even going through without doing the recaptcha, the same with female first

    I'm also having trouble. First the pictures just fade when I click on them or the pictures are fuzzy so I have to keep on pressing the reload button. Also, the last couple of days I've been getting the message 'Your computer or network may be sending automated queries'. I've rebooted the router, the tablet, cleared cookies etc but nothing works. Has anyone got any other suggestions? (Simple please, I'm not techy at all). Thanks

    Tried something yesterday which involves opening both the main and incognito browsers.

    Log into comps using one and try entering. If it doesn't work, copy the url of the opened competition into the other and enter there. As long as you don't log in on the second form of the browser it seems to work.

    It's an ugly solution but, hey, these are captchas ;)
    Still cracking on....

    I am now getting a pop up which reads:

    Your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now. For more details visit our help page

    This has happened a few times this morning on different laptops, different browsers and this is before you even get a chance to attempt entering the captcha! :mad::mad::mad:

    I have a folder full of Captcha comps to enter now, up to date virtually apart from them but have no joy in private browsers, ordinary browsers (various inc FF Opera and Chrome) using my Amazon Fire, iPhone, iMac, tethering to iphone and even a broadband dongle

    Nothing works, you have to laugh at the lengths you need to go to and the hoops you have to jump through. In the end.......still no joy :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Smile, there's always someone worse off than you :D
